Thanks a lot for the clear explanations. This in particular sent me to the various manuals and references until I could translate for myself why they do what you suggest:

($ntext) = /^n01([^;]+)/; # or /^n01(.+?);/;

Tried to msg you with my thanks, but the space in your user name sent my comment to "roy" instead. Hopefully this will reach you.

Pax,

Oh-- I msg'ed duff directly-- but he deserves public thanks as well, so here it is.
